I am also searching for my family heritage. My son is Russell "Walter" Whitney. My father was Russell "Walter" Whitney. I have been able to DEFINITELY trace the heritage as follows. I don't know if this is a connection to you or not,,,, but the names seem to have possibility. As follows: 1. Walter B. Whitney 2nd 1878 - 1943 (my great, great grandfather. 2. Walter B. Whitney 1st 1839 - 1903 (married to Polly O. Meade 1841-1906) 3. Alfred Whitney (Walter B. 1st's) father 1810 - 1867. I have also located the attendance records and minutes of 4 family reunions of Whitneys which are dated back to 1927. It has an overview of the family reunion (of 66 Whitneys) and the names of those in attendance. It seems this line of Whitneys are all from upstate N. Y. IE: Westkill N. Y., Halcott NY, Brooklyn, NY, East Jewitt NY, Tannerville NY Pine Hill, NY, Prattville NY, Verbank NY Bristol Connecticut, So. Kortright NY, Grand Gorge NY, East Masonville NY, Allaben NY, Sidney NY, Bushnellville NY, Binghamton NY, among several others. Other names (other than Whitneys) that attended these family reunions are as follows. Whitney Family reunion in Halcott Center N. Y. on September 28th, 1924. Gathered at the home of James Whitney ( in Halcott CEnter N. Y. ) a reunion of the descendants of Alfred and Phoebe Whitney took place.
